I am so sorry about your cat. That is hard to care about a creature and know that it will not be much longer. I feel for you.
I just wanted to suggest making some smoothies or something to keep the nutrients in you. I find when my appetite goes that I can drink my meals and feel so much better. I get all my nutrients without having to actually eat. Just throw protein powder, almond milk, fruit and greens powder if you can stomach it in a blender and you are good to go.

Again, sorry about the cat. I hope that what the vet suggested gets her back to herself again. I hope that she is not in too much pain.

thanks crispy :) every time i look at food, i want to puke. I cant keep anything down.

Losing a much-loved pet that's been around for many years is extremely painful. I have been there. When the dog I eventually lost a couple of years ago was overnight in a hospital, I was so depressed and on edge. The only cure I am aware of is getting another pet when the first one passes. In time, you will be able to think of those 17 years with pleasure.

If you can't eat, just make sure you stay hydrated. Take some vitamins. A day or two without eating much will not harm you, but if it persists please see a dr.

I know how it feels when bad turns to worse; when it feels like the roof is caving in because so many unhappy things are happening all at once. All I can say is that eventually I am always glad I hung in there. For me, talk therapy and meds help. I also pray, though I know not everyone believes that way.

I hope you feel better soon.

I hope that you and your cat start feeling better soon! I have had many cats through the years and I understand. (((HUGS)))

I'm so sorry about your friend's illness. Cats really become our best friends or like family members. And it sounds like you two have been through a lot together.

I'm not sure that there's any way to make her transition easier. Grief is something that just needs to be gone through and it's normal to have appetite disruptions, sob, sleep more - and not be able to sleep.

I imagine the most important thing is finding the support you need as you grieve. If you're not eating, maybe getting some "ensure" or some sort so you don't get malnourished. Staying away from too much sugar which can deplete you. And just having as light a schedule as possible over the next few weeks.

There may be a pet loss support group in your area - perhaps your vet would know of something.

My heart goes out to you. I have lost pets before and it is just so sad to go through. The most helpful thing a friend told me is to take my time and also to be sure to have time to say goodbye - whatever that looks like - rather than stuff it down.
